When you hire a space on YourStudios, you’re making arrangements to use a venues space. Each venue has their own style of hospitality, starting with how they like to get to know event organisers. Some venues want to approve bookings, while others are comfortable letting you book their studio instantly without waiting for approval.

1. Complete Your Profile

In either case, it’s important to know that YourStudios is a community that relies on trust. Complete your profile before you request a reservation with a venue, so they can know a little bit about you when they confirm. Your profile should include photos and verifications, especially because some venues require event organisers to have a profile photo or Verified ID in order to book.

2. Find the Right Space

With thousands of unique listings around the world, you’ll want to make sure the space you choose has everything you need for an ideal, memorable hire.

When searching for a space, make sure to include your dates and filter details to get the most accurate pricing. Read reviews, descriptions, space rules, and amenities for each studio to see if it’s the right fit for your needs. You can always contact the venue if you have any questions about their space.

3. Book It!

You’ve found the perfect space, and now it’s time to make it official. This is where the venues preferred way of booking will determine how you’ll confirm your reservation.

Instant Book

For venues who don’t want to approve each reservation, you’ll see a button on their listing that says 'Instant Book'. Like the name suggests, you can confirm a reservation at these venues right away. Learn more about Instant Book.

Request to Book

Many venues prefer to approve reservations before they’re final. In this case, you’ll see a button on their listing that says 'Request to Book'. To submit a reservation request, you’ll need to enter your payment details. Venues have 24 hours to accept your request, and your reservation is automatically confirmed once they do. Learn more about submitting a reservation request.

Pre-approvals and Special Offers

If you decide to contact the venue to ask questions before attempting to book, the venue may respond to your message by inviting you to make a reservation with either a pre-approval or Special Offer. A pre-approval is an invitation to finish booking for the dates and times you noted in your message. A Special Offer gives the host the opportunity to provide special pricing, dates, and other reservation details before you book. Learn more about booking a pre-approval or Special Offer.
